Call for Applicants - WMCT Members (January 2025)
The WCA Major Championships Team is looking for new members! We are looking for a diverse group, with people from as many continents and backgrounds as possible. Applications are open to everyone; it is not a requirement to hold a current position in the WCA to be considered, but having organized a National Championship or Major competition will be valued greatly.
What does the WMCT do?
The duties and responsibilities of the team are covered in WCA Motion 10.2024.14, but these are to be expanded in the near future. In summary, this team will conduct the application process for the Continental and World Championships, overseeing the multiple organizing teams before and after the application periods, helping transmit the knowledge acquired by the different Core Teams of past championships.
The new WMCT members will help establish the route for the newly created team, by helping document all of the different resources that have previously been used and creating new ones. WMCT will soon be helping out with the 2026 and 2027 Major Championship application periods.
Requirements
The qualities and requirements expected of candidates are:
- Availability of around 2-5 hours a week, with some periods of high activity, and the ability to work under pressure with strict deadlines.
- Ability to communicate comfortably in English.
- Having organized a National or Major Championship before (or a big competition with multiple stages, sponsors, big budgets, streaming, etc).
- Having attended and staffed at a Major Championship.
How to apply
Candidacy documents must include:
- A brief introduction.
- Summary of the activities done for the WCA, Regional Organization or the cubing community.
- Detailed description of your role in the organization of the National/Big/Major Championship. How do you think this past experience would benefit the WMCT?
- Motivation on joining the WMCT.
- (Optional) Ideas you would suggest to implement at future Major Championships.
Candidacy documents must be in PDF format. The application period is open for candidates to submit their candidacy document from now until January 31st 2025, 23:59 UTC privately to Rubén López de Juan (rjuan@worldcubeassociation.org).
You can expect a reply to confirm whether your application is complete, and may receive a request for an interview with the WMCT Leader and up to two other members.
If you have any questions about WMCT work or the application cycle, you may email Rubén López de Juan (rjuan@worldcubeassociation.org).
Thank you for your interest in being a part of the WMCT and the WCA!
